Slovenia’s AlpAvia to launch operations from France

The Slovenian-registered carrier AlpAvia plans to commence commercial leisure flights from France this month, which will also cover one city in the former Yugoslavia. The airline will wet-lease a Boeing 737-700 aircraft from Greek carrier Lumiwings (featuring the AlpAvia livery), which previously had the jet based in Tuzla. The Slovenian airline will deploy the B737 on operations from Lille, in northern France, and Deauville, in the northwest of the country, to ten European leisure destinations, one of which will be Podgorica. Services between Lille and the Montenegrin capital are set to begin on May 8 and operate on a weekly basis. Tickets are currently provided as part of tour packages, however, the airline appears to have plans to offer seats for individual bookings as well through the inx.aero website.

Registered in 2018 in Ljubljana, AlpAvia is run by Niko Grobelnik, with several individual shareholders from Slovenia. In addition to its venture into commercial aviation, the carrier also operates private business charter flights with its Embraer E145 aircraft. Furthermore, the airline is an Approved Training Organisation, operating a training centre.

Slovenia has several airlines, although the majority do business outside of the country. The largest is Amelia International which provides Aircraft, Maintenance, Crew and Insurance (ACMI) to other carriers, most prominently to Air France. Amelia International is in the process of adding three Airbus A320 aircraft into its growing fleet. The carrier previously confirmed it considered operating scheduled flights out of Ljubljana following the collapse of Slovenia’s former national airline Adria Airways in 2019, however, decided against the move after analysing the market and concluding the return on such an investment would not be sufficient. On the other hand, Slovenia boasts several cargo airlines which operate out of the country, including Solinair and more recently CAMEX Adria Airlines, the sister company of CAMEX Airlines from Georgia, which obtained its Slovenian Air Operator’s Certificate (AOC) late last year.

      ACMI earns a lot! It is more expensive than Dry lease, but here the airline also provides crews in addition to the aircraft. As far as I know a plane can make over 1 million euros in a year if it is leased for the whole year.

    The funny thing is Lumiwings had their aircraft painted in AlpAvia livery when they based aircraft in Tuzla. Looks like they knew all along they would not fly from TZL in summer.

    In fact, in Slovenia there are more than 10 airlines with larger planes (not counting the Cessna ones). Also some have subsidiary airlines abroad. What happened to those two projects Slovenia Air and KZ?

      Slovenia is one of the EU countries where it is relatively easy to get an AOC with less red tape than in other EU countries. That is why Camex and the likes got a Slovenian AOC.

      How can one EU country have less strict procedures for obtaining AOC than others? I was under the impression that Austrian or Maltese AOC are popular due to taxation reasons.

      Wherever you are the EASA standards are the same, there is no way that safety is not a priority somewhere. If not, there won't be any. The other thing is flexibility, advanced digitization, more staff working in a given local CAA, as Malta for example has. Property, offshore companies and low taxes are not counted here, there is a prosecutor's office and the Ministry of Justice for this.

      ^I mean the Malta Aviation Authority is very well developed and very well staffed. At the same time, things with companies there and taxes are another matter, it has nothing to do with their good CAA.

      Certainly smaller countries such as Malta, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Czech Republic, Greece, Romania, Slovenia have attracted many new companies in recent years, hosted the development of wet leasing, at the same time, apparently the bureaucracy in Croatia does not allow the launch of such airlines and generally new airlines.... What could be better than exporting a product with good added value abroad?!?
